Mapping the Middle East

This presentation delves into various maps of the Middle East, uncovering the narratives they convey. By analyzing territory size, export statistics, and historical contexts, we explore the region's geopolitical significance, particularly in relation to crude petroleum and fuel exports. Each map prompts reflection on the implications of territorial changes, cultural heritage, and the biases inherent in their creation. Sources range from academic institutions to historical texts, enriching our understanding of the Middle East's complex landscape and the stories behind the borders.
